Big Data:Top Hadoop Interview Questions (2 of 5)

Frequently asked Hadoop interview questions.

1. What is Hadoop?Hadoop is a framework that allows users the power of distributed computing.

2.What is the difference between SQL and Hadoop?

SQL is allowed to work with structured data. But SQL is most suitable for legacy technologies. Hadoop is suitable for unstructured data. And, it is well suited for modern technologis.

Hadoop

3. What is Hadoop framework?

It is distributed network of commodity servers(A server can contain multiple clusters, and a cluster can have multiple nodes)

4. What are 4 properties of Hadoop?

Accessible-Hadoop runs on large clusters of commodity machinesRobust-An assumption that low commodity machines cause many machine failures. But it handles these tactfully. Scalable-Hadoop scales linearly to handle larger data by adding more nodes to the cluster. Simple-Hadoop allows users to quickly write efficient parallel code

5. What kind of data Hadoop needs?

Traditional RDBMS having relational structure with data resides in tables. In Hadoop. data should be in Key,Value pair.

6. Is Hadoop suitable for on the fly processing?

Hadoop is not suitable. It is suitable only for off-line processing. That means, we can not use Hadoop on active web logs. We can use it on web logs data,which already generated. So, in this property Hadoop is matching to traditional data warehouses.

7. What is Map reduce?

Map reduce is a data processing model, which contain mappers, and reducers. It takes unstructred data as input, and create as Key,Value pairs for processing on Hadoop.

The Credit Card (Shopping): The purpose o this card is to buy any item withing the limit prescribed by banks to cardholder. These cards can have both Magnetic stripe and Chip cards.
Now a days all banks are issuing credit cards with CHIP and PIN. After entering the PIN by cardholder, then transaction starts for further processing.

The debit (ATM, Cash) card is a relatively new method of payment. It is different from a credit card because the debit cardholder pays with the money available in their bank account, which is debited immediately in real time. A debit card seems to be more dangerous compared to a credit card because the debit card is directly linked to the bank checking account and usually allows ATM cash withdrawals.

On the other hand, it is more protected by the required two-factor authentication (PIN number plus card itself). The real dangerous element of many branded debit cards is that they can be processed as credit cards, without entering the PIN.The Gift card is simi…

Why Sqoop you need while working on Hadoop-The Sqoop and its primary reason is to import data from structural data sources such as Oracle/DB2 into HDFS(also called Hadoop file system).
To our readers, I have collected a good video from Edureka which helps you to understand the functionality of Sqoop.

Sqoop word came from SQL+HADOOP=SQOOP. And Sqoop is a data transfer tool. The main use of Sqoop is to import and export the large amount of data from RDBMS to HDFS and vice versa.
